Goldberg

A mainstay in the Minneapolis rock and roll scene from the past due ’60s and early ’70s, Barry Thomas Goldberg produced his single debut in 1974 beneath the name Goldberg. Abandoning the energy pop of his prior group, the Batch, Goldberg collaborated with experimental guitarist Michael Yonkers on the Spartan group of psych-folk tracks that they documented in mono for an Ampex tape machine in only two times. The resulting record, Misty Flats, was funded by Yonkers, who utilized his payout from a function injury to discharge many of his very own albums aswell as Goldberg’s debut. A lonesome and thoughtfully meandering record, Misty Flats was self-released and received a restricted pressing of just 500 copies. Failing woefully to make a industrial influence, Goldberg’s debut faded into obscurity until Seattle-based reissue label Light in the Attic reissued it in 2015. After its preliminary 1974 discharge, Goldberg formed a fresh rock and roll group, Barry T. Goldberg & the Hwy 52 Music group, who became regionally effective across the Twin Metropolitan areas. He afterwards resumed his single career, launching a string of albums under his name, Barry Thomas Goldberg.
